Mirrirs in the p51?

[madrid311]

I'm amazed at being able to fly all of these wonderful aircraft. Question,  Is it too hard to program mirrors and is that why you don't see them in game?  just wondering.

Used to turn them off in racing games because of the frame rate decreasing.

I wonder how effective mirrors were.  I would expect vibration to make them nearly useless.

Considering how everyone had at least one if not two, they must have worked somewhat

In my experience? Not very...

Don't get me wrong, they help for making sure your wingman is in position, but by the time you can see someone on your six, you're likely already shot down.

From what I learned in the history channel "dogfights" once implemented it saved their 6 a few times. Just the visual of moment was enough. I found it interesting. The hightech team does amazing things so I thought I'd ask.

I mostly just use mine for selfies lol. I may be doing something wrong...

yes we need them to check our hair mid fight.

How I position my mirrors:



Worth noting: I cannot see directly behind me. They're perfect for looking down my 30 degree bearing line, but that's it. It was the same in the T-6 IIRC

I wonder how many mirrors the JSF needs

  None,they use Toyota's 360 view camera and a headsup display!.......

If your plane has slats, you want the mirrors on them.

In the 51 u can pull an exorsist type head spin ....so they prolly don't make a lot of sense. The hellcat could u a couple.

I feel like they might be good for checking for major damage in the tail in an aircraft that you might have an otherwise hard time seeing.
